Performance based evaluation of the seismic resistance of structures with concrete diaphragms /

Under seismic loading, floor and roof systems in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings act as diaphragms to transfer earthquake loads to the vertical lateral force resisting system (LFRS). In current practice, horizontal diaphragms are typically assumed to be rigid, thus neglecting the effect of the i...
